)Necessary and not disingenuous disclaimer - these are my thoughts, I don't pretend more importance for them, and I have barely mentioned them, I think, elsewhere, leave alone discussed them. The focus and topic of them is some ways that the site can be more useful for non-editing users.
The "presto veloce" part - refers to the tendency, I think, to create a range of pages and upload content very rapidly as though in a contest (maybe I'm projecting, since I know I've done.) Sibley Library Rochester or some other site uploads a dozen scores, and several of us "compete" to harvest them. The more quickly this is done, though, the more errors on the resulting workpages. Since other sites and other people use our data, as they do Wikipedia's, to back up their claims in other contexts, and since these mistakes later go uncorrected for some while, is there some way to encourage - systematically, I really really have to emphasize, not individually - a slowdown, more than is already being done?
Moderato: should really be ritardando- as in- again- slow down...
... relates to this, in a more specific way. Several times lately - for example but not only, in a review of a recent recording of Reinecke's cello sonatas, where the reviewer pointed out how the scores were available on IMSLP- but two of them were incomplete (this is still a problem with one of the three sonatas , but I have since uploaded an alternative for the other from Sibley ) - ... it seems a good idea at least for briefer works to check within reason! that they are actually performable in the state in which one is uploading them, instead of waiting for an "enduser" to complain likewise. (The reviewer did so publicly at Musicweb-international.com presumably because he was unaware that we have a reporting feature here - or thought it annoying enough to be worth noting even so. And ... I have to say I see his point; free need not mean unprofessional in that sense, as he puts it, and I agree.)Third part: to make things more useful - I almost forgot it. We have a number of works that are hard to use - either full scores without parts, or hard-to-read manuscripts, or etc. - the more typesetters (and even typesetters-in-training like myself :^) ) willing to donate some time, may find them good practice, too. Without making it a formal "project" with a list to be checked off (I find those increasingly annoying for reasons I will not go into right now... ) ... hrm. Still, a "category"... hrm. How to handle... don't know at all, don't know how to encourage this that's not being done...
